Hi,

My front end application just broke, trying to figure otu this answer as quick as I can

how can I select based on the character count of the column ?

For example

SELECT * from tblAnswers where response.length > 500 characters

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks! :)

You can use the LEN or DATALENGTH functions. Please check BOL for the differences between the two though. I always use the DATALENGTH function due to the gotcha of the LEN function.
